And building permits there are not DENIED ON BASIS OF RELIGION OR ETHNICTY. Tell me Alan, apartheid is in South African history books is it not? It will also be part of OUR history books. our South African brothers were in Ramallah few days back to commemorate the end of South Africa Apartheid, and to help US in our mission to oust it as well. You see Alan, you can't change history or its path. Some people in this world are actually sincere and mean well for one another.

Every other country demolishes illegally built buildings.

then these anti Jewish creeps would not say a word!

In the Civilized world..all illegal annexation of land has ended...! The only thing that illegal in Jerusalem is the settlements!

100K people are gone - disappeared, o well no biggie

this is the society and these are the folks that endorse, and carry out the law of capital punishment for selling land to a Jew. I say we one up them. Death penalty for anyone selling to an arab, and deportation for illegal building.

Jews aren't allowed to worship on the Temple Mount. Jews aren't allowed to live in Ramallah, Jenin, Shechem, Jerico etc etc.. In fact, arabs made up a law that if an arab sells to a Jew he will be killed. Please destroy all the illegal building near where I live. It's beyond ridiculous that every time that I take the bus from Gilo, I go accross Beit Safafa. They are building like maniacs, without permits, on land that doesn't belong to them, like near Silwan. Yet because I'm Jewish, the government won't even allow me to put a simple storage building that is 6x6 in my backyard. Get rid of these thief.

There are always simple solutions to these problems. Only homes built with permits should be allowed to connect to sewage, water, electricity and telephone. The UN should also remember that if it is an illegal and undeclared structure that no city taxes are being paid on these properties. 60,000 homes x city tax I would say that the Arabs in the eastern part of the city have been having a pretty good ride. Why is it that only Arabs are above the law???? The answer is simple, its because they threaten violence if they dont get their own way. They threaten violence not only here, but all over the globe.

Nobody has the right to build illegaly and these palis are not exceptions.They should have known that these houses would be demolished if they did what they did.They acted consciently ,knowing their risk so they are not being taken by surprise.

Because YOU enlighted one, who rants about Apartheid in Israel, do not allow Jews ti LIVE there - which they DO in Israel; or OWN property - which they DO in Israel; or MARRY - - which they DO in Israel; or WORK - - which they DO in Israel; NONE of this is allowed in almost ALL of the araB world. YOU RACISTS are complaining? Let's review And building permits there are not DENIED ON BASIS OF RELIGION OR ETHNICTY. No Jewish building in Jordan. No Jewish marraiges in Libya No Jews allowed to practice their religion in Saudi Arabia... or Syria... or Lebanon... The list goes on. Tell me Nour, apartheid is Islamic Worldwide terror & Islamic Racism in the history books? Unfortunately, Islamic Worldwide terror & Islamic Racism is part of OUR history books. You see Nour, you can't change history or the terrorism in the name of ISLAM. Some people in this world are actually sincere and mean well for one another; when do you think your araB countries can do the same?

Israel has the right to demolish illegal constructions/homes in its cities. Just because they are Islamist-Jihadists and they make noise, it does not mean they are right and the UN has to interfere in Israel's internal affairs. Israel should carry out the Rule of Law. Lawlessness must not be tolerated.

Palestine and South Africa, was the whites were a minority in South Africa and the Arabs are 20% of the population in Israel. What about the Apartheid in Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq where a Palestinian is treated a hundred times worse than a black citizen at the height of Apartheid? What about a hundred Muslims a day being killed by other Muslims any day all over the Muslim world?

Apartheid? Are you kidding me? You and yours are squaters on our land and should be grateful that we do not treat you the way people in your culture behave. You Pals are the world's biggest headache. You whine and cry and then practice the worst belligerence there ever was. How about you go back to Saudi Arabia or wherever your squating lineage came from. If you don;t like your living conditions....the door is wide open.What happened to Camp David in 2000 where you were offered (generously) 97% of what you asked for....oh yeah, another historic blunder on the part of your terror-refining leadership. I really wish you people would just disappear or stop your whining already.

Jews are twice as much liable to have their homes razed than illegal buildings by arabs

In the whole world a country that declared war and lost had to give up a part of her country . Look only at Germany after WWII . Israel begged Jordan not to attack in 1967 , they did , lost . It would be the first time in History that a country that was attacked and won has to be the only one to make concessions .

think rationally. Perhaps, the Israelis should just give back the land to the Jordanians since they were the ILLEGAL occupiers of it since the War of Independence....assunming youv'e done any research on the Palestine Mandate. Nowhere is it written that the Israelis need to relinquish this land (that was won in a defensive war) to the hostile population. Additionally, your comments neglect to acknowledge the fact that every successive govt for the last 18+ years has attempted to cut a deal with this joke of a population. Therefore your critisicm is intellectually dis-honest and downright ignorant.

Tear down every single one of them. The main reason they can't get building permits is because they are stealing public lands.

It's an Arab city in the Arab Middle East. Crusaders have come and gone. Zionists have come, they will go. Read some history.

...that until 1967 all the palestinians were Jewish?

case in London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Ottawa and Washington, DC. This is also the case in Jerusalem, Israel's capital city. But there is one difference, at least in the eyes of Israel's critics: Jerusalem is the capital city of the Jewish nation-state...!!

Yes some COSATU and ANC Black brothers activists are advising you about how to use the Apartheid Trade Mark and Franchise. Im sure they are being well paid by your alliesfor their co operation . They always need some money But the vast majority of SA Black brothers arnt too fond of Asians and Arab types.You can find any group of Black Brothers in SA and ask them quite openly . Even other Blacks from the rest of Africa have a very rough time from SA Blacks .Did you read about the XENOPHOBIA attacks on Foreign Blacks in SA ,like Somalis etc? Please dont tell us Apartheid stories

Check numbers! SO this comes ABOUT TIME~~~

Mk Uri Ariel revealed that the army has frozen the demolitions of illegal Palestinian houses a year ago. At the same time, Barak cracked extensively on Jewish outposts and legally purchased houses, including the notorious Beit Shalom. The situation is similar in Israel proper where every trace of illegal Jewish construction is prosecuted immediately but the Arabs built hundreds of thousands of housing units without permits, often on private Jewish land.

A new report from the IDF's Civilian Administration shows that of 293 illegally built structures owned by Jews in Judea and Samaria in 2008, 36 percent or 105 were destroyed. However, of 646 Palestinian Authority Arab-owned structures illegally built on Jewish-owned or state-owned land in Judea and Samaria, only 17 percent or 111 were destroyed.

Something that doesn't seem to exist among the Pals as theft of land by Muslims from Christians, biased judicial systems, and heavy corruption continue to underscore.

"And building permits there are not DENIED ON BASIS OF RELIGION OR ETHNICTY." First, Palestinians are NOT an ethnicity. I dare you to prove they are. Second, both Christians and Muslims Palestinians have felt the demolition order response from Israel. Infact, Jews have also received demolition orders in many cases - and they've been enacted. So, if by "Apartheid" you mean "Arabs can't run amuck over someone else's laws and make retarded demands, calling people racists when they don't get their own way" - then I guess you're right - There is Apartheid.

It's time for the Arabs to go and the rightful ownership of Jerusalem to return to the people of Zion. The Romans stole it, the Byzantines took it, the Crusaders fought over it, and the Arabs stole it (and left it in massive dis-repair until Jews arrived again and built it up). Pals were made up, and not they will go. Read some history.
